On the other side, Will Robinson had an especially tough time. Based on what I saw last night, I'm more comfortable with Heyer than Robinson.

Yeah, Robinson needs to go. BMW was better at tackle than him. I have been pretty hard on Heyer but he is a legitimate back-up tackle. I think the key to Heyer is his health. He can be decent in a pinch but just can't handle being an every down, every game guy.

My biggest worry about the team right now is that Andre Carter is absolutly useless in pass coverage. Witten will have 300 yards against us if we don't figure that problem out.

Orakpo is a cover corner compared to Carter but Orakpo has to be rushing not covering. Orakpo in coverage is a win win for the offense.

Regarding Robinson, I heard that he was going against Maybin late in the game when the Bills put some starters back in. Not a fair matchup if that was the case. But either way, Robinson shouldn't be allowed on the field.

I think overall the defense has some issues to iron out. From what we saw last night, looks like the offense has a better grasp at this point. There's plenty of time though.

Maybin looked like a UFLer against Williams and then looked like LT against Robinson. I can't imagine that Capers or the other tackles could look that bad.
